Title: Air Battle for Dunkirk
Subtitle: 26 May - 3 June 1940
Author: Norman Franks
Narrator: Roger Davis
Format: Unabridged
Length: 7 hrs and 58 mins
Language: English
Release date: 08-09-17
Publisher: Grub Street Publishing LTD
Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes
Genres: History, Military
Publisher's Summary:
With the epic blockbuster film Dunkirk, to be released in July, 2017, directed by Christopher Nolan and starring, amongst others, Kenneth Branagh, Tom Hardy, and Mark Rylance, this reissue has never been more timely. "Where is the RAF?" was the oft-quoted question asked by soldiers waiting on the beach at Dunkirk, to where they had retreated following the German blitzkrieg through northern France, and where they were now being pounded by the Luftwaffe. The air forces were there, as Norman Franks proves, detailing the outstanding achievements of the Allied pilots who fought, using outmoded tactics, against enemy pilots who had earlier had easy victories over the Polish, Dutch, and Belgian air forces. The RAF's achievement reminds us just how close Britain came to disaster in June, 1940.

Air Battle for Dunkirk
I am not a professional book reviewer. Having said that,I found the book a very interesting read and hard to put down. The author has undertaken a great deal of research,down to recording the serial numbers,where known,of the aircraft flown by certain pilots,during this historic event. Reading the combat reports and description of events way back during the air battle over Dunkirk was a fascinating glimpse into the past. A book highly recommended for the aviation historian.
most excellent read
simply a great account of what happened over Dunkirk. Great descriptions of battles mixed in with pilot accounts, especially those shot down, who made their way back to Britain with the troops
RAF over Dunkirk
Highly recommended. As always, Norman Franks provides an hour to hour, blow to blow account of the air events surrounding the evacuation. For such a short period, there is a whole lotta action involving several and famous characters and squadrons of the RAF. Certainly a must have for RAF fans, but this is a book to read slowly.
If something missing is the actual comparason between RAF claims and Luftwaffe losses. Otherwise, an excellent read.
Bored me to tears!
I thought this was to be the story of the men and women of this battle. Instead, it reads like a choppy log book with no backstory. I was very disappointed.
